As mentioned before, when it comes to being able to talk about a game in a professional, detailed and comprehensive manner, it is still Kenny Smith from ESPN - he and Kenny Smith from TNT are not brothers, they just have the same name.
Barkley earned $3 million a season as a commentator at TNT, which is the highest among TNT's top talent groups.
Don't think that stars will not be short of money after they retire and live a life of feasting and feasting all day long.
In fact, the proportion of NBA stars who quickly became destitute and relied on relief funds after retirement reached 50%, and the proportion of declared bankruptcy was as high as over 80%.
Horrible, right
Buckley almost declared bankruptcy.
If he hadn't still had a job at TNT to save his life.
The reasons are many and varied, but none can escape the fatal curse of the bad guys - family, friends and bad Wall Street managers.
Therefore, after tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of assets were squandered, these guys returned to the state of poverty before playing.
Under such circumstances, if you get a salary of 3 million US dollars a year, do you suddenly feel that you are happy again
That's how Barkley feels.
Kenny Smith got more than Barkley. He got a full $4.5 million a year.
Don't be used to NBA contracts worth 10 million, 20 million or even 30 million dollars, and think that 4.5 million dollars a year is very little.
In fact, this income is equivalent to the salary of a CEO of a first-class company.
The per capita median income in New York in 2017 was less than 30,000 US dollars, which is less than 2,000 US dollars a month, and only more than 20,000 US dollars a year. This is the life of ordinary people in the United States.
Kenny Smith certainly has his own way of getting so much money.
His greatest advantage is his professionalism.
Too.
Do you think a host and commentator who can compete for NBA head coaches doesn't understand the NBA
The moment the Thunder lost a big score to the Lakers, Kenny Smith took out a small whiteboard in the studio and started writing, drawing and talking.
"There is no doubt that the outcome of this game was actually decided in October last year when Shen Huan announced that he would return to the NBA.
Not to mention the Thunder, or the Golden State Warriors, if they meet Shen Huan, the result will probably be the same, there is no way to stop him.
During the game, especially in the first quarter, I saw that the Thunder actually dared to let Shen Huan go. They wanted to rely on the strong strength of Russell Westbrook to restrict Shen Huan and blockade Shen Huan. I was just stupid.
It is the ignorant who are fearless! You didn't play against Shen Huan last year, so you don't know what the NBA's unprecedented number one superstar is!
Simply watching TV and facing Shen Huan on the field are two completely different feelings. You simply can't bear it!
Look, in the first quarter, Shen Huan's indifferent expression of ignoring them, as well as his domineering and fearless bravery, directly defeated Westbrook's spiritual defense, forcing him to have to fight after the first quarter. He avoided Shen Huan halfway and started to attack other people's defense lines.
This is right! When dealing with Shen Huan, you shouldn't face him directly, even if you think you are Boss Joe, Johnson or O'Neal.
Because in the 20 or 30 years I have been involved in the NBA, I have never seen a player as comprehensive and versatile as Shen Huan. He is simply unstoppable!
Only by restricting Shen Huan on the one hand and concentrating on beating other positions of the Lakers on the other can you possibly win.
But such a chance is very slim, very slim! It might still work last year, because Kobe and Iverson couldn't withstand such high-intensity games, and besides them, the Lakers no longer have a fourth superstar.
Well now, Howard is here. And Howard miraculously got rid of his back injury this season, and his condition is almost the same as in his prime! The title of 'Rebound King' is the best compliment to him.
With Howard sitting in the backcourt, Kobe and Iverson during the regular season could safely attack the opponent's defense and defeat the enemy with offense.
The same is true now that Shen Huan is back. Howard doesn't have to worry about anything else. As long as he, like Rodman, is optimistic about his own basket in the second half, it will be a victory.
Obviously, Howard did this perfectly in this game. Westbrook's shooting percentage was less than 40%, setting a new low for his shooting percentage in the playoffs. Most of this is due to Howard.
But all said and done, the core of the Lakers is still Shen Huan. Unless you can truly defeat Shen Huan, the method I mentioned to deal with the Lakers has a very small chance.
Or there is another way, which is what I said before. If you gather all the superstars in the league, such as James, Durant, Curry, Irving and Chris Paul, they will very likely create A piece of history that can defeat Shen Huan, the most brutal overlord in NBA history.
However, this is obviously impossible, so we can only watch with excitement and regret as Shen Huan continues to crush his opponents and once again win the supreme honor! ! !
Living in an era when Shen Huan plays basketball is the greatest luck for us fans, and it is also the greatest misfortune for those superstars of the same era! "
…
There are many comments similar to Kenny Smith's.
It was mentioned in the video and news that night.
While the fans were dazzled, they were more concerned about the reactions of the entertainment superstars present.
The person who is the most licking dog is naturally the Lakers and Shen Huan's die-hard fan and actor Nicholson.
"Yes! I long to kneel in front of Shen Huan and kiss his feet! In my 50-year basketball career, no one has ever excited my heart like him! He is simply a god!!"
Xiao Lizi, who also came to watch the game, also smiled and said: "I watched Shen Huan play last year, and we also chatted. He is a very humble and gentle person off the court. I don't know why he is so nervous on the court. Indifferent and crazy.
I think his opponents are equally powerful, because even I, as a spectator, couldn't help but tremble when I looked at Shen Huan's indifferent expression and couldn't move, let alone play ball! "
"Well~~ I think I am becoming more and more interested in this handsome young man! He is simply perfect on the court! Besides, he is also amazing off the court. You know he recently published two articles in "Nature" magazine It’s about an article, right? For such a genius to be the father of my child is definitely a gift from God!” Ms. Scarlett, the Black Widow, said.
"If Shen Huan is willing to go on a date with me, I will clean her up and deliver her directly to her door~~" Miley Cyrus said unabashedly.
"I hope to have a closer relationship with him, like a real good friend..." Elizabeth Olsen was more reserved.
